Dialogues with pictures

LOUIE [narrating]: All started the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. PRINCIPAL HALLORAN: You've got to get dressed the pageant's about to start. LOUIE: I have to play the turkey
every year. I want to be Squanto. PRINCIPAL HALLORAN: You're the only one who knows the turkey's line. Now, how are all those kids supposed to learn about the meaning of Thanksgiving?

LOUIE: Mom, just hypothetically, what's the meaning of Thanksgiving? ORA: Everyone knows that it's pumpkin pie.
ANDY: Well it's true, I am a fountain of knowledge. It's like any other holiday comes from the Latin loosely translated it means a lot of annoying people in your house. LOUIE: Thanks Dad.

LOUIE [narrating]: We just about finished the Anderson family jigsaw puzzle
when... ORA: Uncle Sammy put him at the head of the table. ANDY: Who invited that clown? LOUIE [narrating]: My dad couldn't stand Uncle Sam. It wasn't just that he was my mom's brother or that he was never in the military. What he really hated was that Sammy was rich and he never let Dad forget. ANDY: What's the matter didn't the Queen of England invite him this year. ORA: They don't celebrate Thanksgiving. ANDY: She's been a bad mood since Eisenhower. He doesn't talk to anyone. ANDY: Mimi darling, the life of the party,
can I take your coat there. MIMI: I won't be staying that long.

UNCLE SAMMY: The story of Thanksgiving. November 1620 Plymouth Rock, a sailboat the Mayflower filled with over a hundred brave little voyages from England. The pilgrims finally arrives in the new world, America. They're welcomed by the Patuxent Indians. ANDY: That's right Sammy ten years earlier that rock was still under water. A Viking ship from Norway is lost in the Atlantic when it hits that reef and runs a ground. Everyone has lost at sea. Everyone that is except for one clucky fighting: Gunter Anderson.
